...I had gotten an 18 inch pillow at the thrift store...and just ran it through the washer and dryer...even though it seemed like new...and I got some creamy material from stash...it's actually from the curtains that we took down in our W.V. house...
...but it matches the pillow top pretty perfectly...
...so first...I sewed a square directly onto the pillow form...
...this was just so the white of the pillow form wouldn't show through the open-ness of the crochet...white here...
...and cream here...
...oh...and I should have told y'all about these fancy corner stitches...the pattern for them was so hard to understand...but I found this awesome YT video that explains it...excellently entitled
How I crochet Row 21 of the Winter Opulence Square...I do love the internet...haha...
...then I just made an inside out sandwich with the pillow top...the strip enclosing the piping and the square pillow back...and stitched that all together...
...turned it right side out...
...finished top...
...and back...
...slid the pillow form in and stitched up the opening...
...and we have another finished pillow...I inistially thought that I'd put it in the den...where the colours are antique burgundy and swiss coffee...but then I didn't really love the cream coloured pillow on the sofa with the three burgundy ones...it just seemed to stand out to much...
...but you know which room it will go perfectly in...
...right!...the guest room needed one more pillow...haha...and this one is ideal...
...what's in your workbasket this week?...
~Have a lovely day!
The pillow turned out beautifully! And I love it in the guest room. I’ll have to schedule a trail…..love, K
